perf: optimize Java tracing agent serialization and writes

- Reuse ThreadLocal Kryo Output buffers (eliminates #1 allocation hotspot)
- Fast-path inline serialization for safe arg types (bypasses executor)
- Skip verification roundtrip for known-safe containers (ArrayList, HashMap, etc.)
- Batch SQLite inserts (256/txn) with permanent autocommit-off
- Switch to ArrayBlockingQueue (no per-element Node allocation)
- Add opt-in in-memory SQLite mode (VACUUM INTO at shutdown), enabled in CI
- Add timing instrumentation (onEntry, serialization, writes, dump)
- Add ProfilingWorkload fixture for benchmarking

Benchmark (50k captures): onEntry 5200ms→1200ms (4.3x), avg/capture
0.43ms→0.02ms (21x), writes 3200ms→900ms (3.5x) with in-memory mode.
